Ettore Di Giacinto b4d8e23abb fix(grpc): let the transport answer through the wrappers, not only past gRPC
Re-review round 2. One blocking defect, and it was the concern I filed myself
last round and mis-scoped as a future trap. It was live, and it sat on the most
destructive reaping path of the five.

RouteResult.Client is an InFlightTrackingClient, over a FileStagingClient when a
stager is configured. model_router puts that on the cached remote model and
pkg/model's checkIsLoaded asks IT whether the transport failed. Both wrappers
embed grpc.Backend, which does not declare LastDialError, so the type assertion
read nil and the guard added last round fell straight through to the old
eviction. That eviction sends backend.stop over NATS to every node holding the
model and deletes every replica row, where the other sites delete one. The spec
covering it built a bare client by hand, which is why it passed while production
did not.

This is the third time in this task a correct fix was disarmed one layer out, so
the fix is a mechanism rather than two methods. BackendUnwrapper is one line per
decorator, LastDialErrorOf walks the chain, and both consumers now call it
instead of each keeping its own assertion. One implementation, no per-caller
policy to get wrong.

Sweeping every type that embeds or holds a grpc.Backend found a third decorator
the review had not named, and it is itself a reaping consumer of the same
collapsed signal. ConnectionEvictingClient is built for remote models in
initializers.go and its evict callback runs ShutdownModel; it fires during
INFERENCE rather than on a health check, so a tunnel blip mid-request was enough
to stop a model that was loaded and serving. It consults the transport first
now. A locally spawned backend has no custom transport, so that path is
unchanged byte for byte. Everything else touching a Backend is a consumer rather
than a decorator; there is no fourth.

The probe cache joiner shape is pinned. It was the right design last round with
nothing holding it: the mutation back to a closed-over variable passed all 602
specs in the package. Eight goroutines coalesced on a probe that blocks on a
channel now assert every joiner gets the leader's REASON and not just its
answer, which is the difference between a leader declining to reap and its seven
joiners reaping on the leader's own observation.

The LastDialError scope note claimed an exactness it does not have at
checkIsLoaded, which reads a shared long-lived client after releasing opMutex.
It now says which caller is not exact, why the imprecision is accepted there,
and what making it exact would cost.

The four-outcome table in the docs still said a worker with no live owner is
treated as absent and rescheduled, contradicting the code and the paragraph nine
lines below it. None of those outcomes is absence any more, and the table says
so, names the fifth, and points at the heartbeat as the thing that does decide
presence.

Five mutations, each reddening named specs, including the two the reviewer found
surviving.

Requirement

In this project, the Docsy theme component is pulled in as a Hugo module, together with other module dependencies:

$ hugo mod graph
hugo: collected modules in 566 ms

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

Running the website locally

Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo. You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our Getting started guide.

From the LocalAI repository root, run:

make docs

The Hugo configuration lives in the docs directory. To invoke Hugo directly instead, run:

cd docs
hugo server

Running a container locally

You can run docsy-example inside a Docker container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other than Docker Desktop on Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose on Linux.

  1. Build the docker image

    docker-compose build
    
  2. Run the built image

    docker-compose up
    

    NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

  3. Verify that the service is working.

    Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

Cleanup

To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.

To remove the produced images run:

docker-compose rm

For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

➜ hugo server

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /

Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Or you may encounter the following error:

➜ hugo server

Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found

This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
